Bath Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We really enjoyed our tour to Stonehenge. The coach was comfortable and we liked that it had seatbelts. The commentary on the drive to and from Stonehenge felt genuine and not overly rehearsed. The time at Stonehenge on our own was just right. There are other options to get to and from Stonehenge but this was perfect for us for the simplicity and efficiency of the whole experience.

My mom and I had a wonderful time on our tour with Alan. He was funny, informative, and provided plenty of great information throughout the day. Alan not only provided historical and factual information but also local stories that made the day even more enjoyable and entertaining. At every stop, he shared suggestions on where to eat, the best restrooms, and the best way to spend our time. We would love to do more tours with Alan (but leave Phillip at home).

Husband and I took a ride to Stonehenge from Bath with Sally our driver and guide, who was quite knowledgeable of the area, a safe and proficient driver, and very personable, sharing her knowledge and expressing an interest in her traveling participants. Time allowed for the site was perfect, the English Heritage audioguide informative, and the ability to get a short hike from the stone monument was a plus on a beautiful day. A definite marvel in history and ancient structures, it is a must see if you're visiting England. Highly recommend Scarper Tours.

From the first, our experience with Simon was superb. Simon's knowledge of the places we toured is extraordinary, and he delivers it all with such enthusiasm that we couldn't help but be dazzled. At every place and moment, we felt solidly in the hands of a highly skilled travel professional. On time every time, well prepared and informed, Simon delivered total white glove handling befitting a luxury travel experience. Thank you, Simon, and thank you In and Beyond Bath company. We will be back.

Iggy was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Perfect amount of time spent in each location.

Well, I can’t speak for every tour guide, Danny was fantastic! He was full of energy great stories, Happy to answer any question, and took us on a couple of bonus stops along the way to give us our monies worth. Rabbie’s is a terrific tour company and I would highly recommend them if you want a more personalized small group experience.

John was an excellent guide Very knowledgeable and informative and great fun Would highly recommend

Our guide, John, was very entertaining and very knowledeable. He kept us all involved and made sure everyone was enjoying the experience. It was certainly a good decision to do the tour - we could have wandered round the beautiful city all day on our own without ever discovering exactly what we were looking at. The visit to the Roman Baths was also very enjoyable and interesting. We stayed for two hours and felt we learned so much. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this walking tour of Bath. The city itself is beautiful, and the tour is a great way to explore it, as you get to walk around quite a lot while learning about its history.Ulrich is extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information throughout the tour, including lots of interesting details about the places we visited. I was impressed by how much he knew about the city and its history.Bath is very walkable and many of the main sights are quite close to each other, but you still cover a good amount of ground during the tour, so be prepared to walk! Overall, it was a very interesting and informative way to discover the city.

Our guide (Dan?) was fantastic. Great personality, very knowledgeable about where we were. A lot of fun and we learned a lot!! Will use Rabbi again for sure when back in the UK

Thank you! It was helpful navigating a short time period!

Simon is Incredible!I’ve never took such beautiful pictures with my iPhone as I did now.I took incredible pictures, learned how to use our imagination in a creative way. and I could never imagine that.He is outstanding and I strongly recommend this tour!I personally will do it again!

Seb gave us in-depth historical information on every place we went on our tour. He had knowledge I would not have expected (why there are not many trees in the area), and was honest the few times he did not have an answer. We learned much more about Stonehenge than we expected, and I so appreciated Seb’s enthusiasm for the history of the area. Loved walking around the Avebury Circle; with Seb’s help, we were able to understand what it would have looked like thousands of years ago. Seb pointed out many other unique views on our trip: a chalk horse, Old Sarum, and even where Sting lives! He took us to a great farm restaurant in the middle of nowhere.Our last stop was the Salisbury Cathedral. Seb was not able to accompany us into the church, but he had already given us plenty of information about its history.We wanted to do an individual tour so that we could learn more about all these sites, and Seb truly delivered! I’d highly recommend his tours.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Ulrich! He is very knowlegeable about Bath architecture and history, not just the parts related to Jane Austen.

I went on the Rock & Roll tour in Bath yesterday, and honestly, I had the most fabulous time.From the moment I met my guide, John, he was completely engaging. He didn’t just show us around Bath — he took us on a journey through music, stories, history and his own incredible experiences.We heard fascinating stories about Muse, Glastonbury, Van Morrison, Tears for Fears, The Beatles and so much more. There were moments that left me thinking, “Wait… I need to look that up when I get home!” — including a particular Beatles photograph that is now firmly on my research list!But what really made the experience special was John’s passion for music. Hearing about his own musical journey, his connection with Tears for Fears, his time in The Graduate, and being able to ask him questions along the way made this feel so much more than a walking tour.I would recommend this to anyone who loves music. You don’t need to be a superfan of any particular artist. If you love discovering stories, celebrating music, having real conversations and experiencing a city in a more unique and memorable way, this is absolutely for you.Walking around Bath with an incredible musician, hearing these stories and celebrating the power of music through real-life experiences was just brilliant.If you’re visiting Bath — or you live nearby and fancy doing something completely different — go and book yourself onto the Rock & Stroll tour. 🎶Seriously, don’t just walk around Bath… experience it through the stories and soundtrack of the people who have shaped music.👉 Book your Rock & Stroll experience with John and prepare to see Bath in a whole new way.Thank you, John — what a fantastic afternoon. ❤️🎸🎶 Freedy and I loved it

We would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you’re new to Bath. Not only is it great for beer lovers, but it’s also a brilliant introduction to the city and its surrounding streets.My wife and I met up with Gez on Sunday afternoon, and he greeted us straight away with the first beer of the day! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and more than happy to answer our endless questions (sorry, Gez!).We visited several great spots and got lucky finding tables at each one. Gez effortlessly paired local historic insight with genuine, first-hand brewing expertise. He even threw in some fun multiple-choice quiz questions along the way, though my guessing left a lot to be desired!The walking pace was very relaxed, with plenty of breaks and stops. Gez even brought along a cooler bag of beers to sample while sharing stories about the spots we were standing in. The time flew by, and we enjoyed every minute.A real gem of a tour. We will definitely book again next time we’re in the area. Thanks, Gez!
